View Poll Results: Caleb Sturgis' Field Goal Percentage Will Be (What?) In 2014?

Voters

94. You may not vote on this poll

His FG % will drop this year compared to that of last season.

22.13%

His FG % will be, roughly, about the same this year than that of last year.

I voted on improving on his 26 of 34 last year. He was disappointing but, not horrible, and Carp going 33 of 36 did not help from a Phans perspective.

30-39 yards- 10 of 12. I think kickers should be 100% here but, only 10 were, and only 3 with 12-13 tries. One more made puts him in the top half.

40-49 yards- 8 of 10. Only 5 guys were 100%. One more made puts him in the top ten.

50+ yards- 3 of 7. I remember the one vs Pitt at the end of the half, when announcers said no one had ever made that long of a kick at that end in the history of the stadium, and throw that one out. I think if he made one more (The Big One), he would be fine here.

So, overall if he hits on 3 or 4 more than last year, everyone should be pretty happy, and that's not a lot to ask for in his second year. Also, he was good on kickoffs. JMO

76.50% field goal is not acceptable for an NFL kicker, but the team spent a fifth round for him. My guess is he got another year to prove himself. He probably will improve from his first year, simply because the bar was set really low.

I say it improves. I am not looking at his stats and don't know what they were, I know it wasn't good. From what I remember, there were a good amount of long ones he just missed, I remember one the wind really affected. I don't really remember any horrible shanks. I think he was definitely not good, but had some bad luck. I think he will be an above average NFL kicker
